Correct Answer: 5, 1, 2, 3, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Irreparable 2. Irreplaceable 3. Irrigated 4. Irritable 5. Irradiation
Step 1:
Compare the first, second and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
I
and are followed by
r
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is either a, e or i. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Irr
a
diation, Irr
e
parable, Irr
e
placeable, Irr
i
gated, Irr
i
table.
Step 3:
Compare the sixth letter as the fifth letter is the same (Irrep
a
rable, Irrep
l
aceable) and (Irri
g
ated, Irri
t
able). Irrep
a
rable will come before Irrep
l
aceable in the sequence as
a
comes before
l
in the alphabetical system. Irri
g
ated will come before Irri
t
able in the sequence as
g
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Irradiation, Irreparable, Irreplaceable, Irrigated, Irritable, or 5, 1, 2, 3, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
